A recent study has uncovered how the pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum disrupts plant defenses through its type III effector RipAF1. The research shows that RipAF1 modifies a critical plant protein, FBN1, via ADP-ribosylation, which alters the plant’s hormonal signaling balance, suppressing jasmonic acid (JA) and enhancing salicylic acid (SA) pathways.
A cutting-edge online food safety toolbox has been crafted to bolster the proficiency of Food Business Operators (FBO) and regulatory bodies. This tool streamlines the implementation of the Codex Alimentarius (Codex) General Principles of Food Hygiene (GPFH), employing a structured learning strategy that encompasses mapping, chunking, and dynamic inquiry. Its goal is to unify food safety protocols, from farm to table.
During a stroke, Black Americans arrive later to emergency departments — which are less likely to be notified of a patient’s condition ahead of time, a national study shows. Researchers say quality improvements for EMS should be a target for stroke system redesigns to achieve greater health equity.
A new study finds there are two simple editing changes companies can make to their annual reports that improve investor confidence.
Scientists have identified a crucial gene, CsMIKC1,that controls the number of flowering sites in Cannabis sativa, a finding that could significantly enhance both medicinal and grain yields. The study reveals how CsMIKC1 drives inflorescence development, offering new pathways to boost productivity in Cannabis cultivation.
Multi-storey timber buildings are extremely popular. To prevent them from being damaged by strong winds or earthquakes, sufficient bracing must be provided in the supporting structure. Computer calculations provide the basis for this. To check these in practice and improve the computer models, Empa researchers use a two-ton “shaker”.
Traditional optical anti-counterfeiting (AC) is achieved by static printed images, which makes them susceptible to lower levels of security and easier replication. Here in, we fabricated a multifunctional anti-counterfeiting (AC) device based on fluorescent electrophoretic particles, which can achieve dynamic AC display by switching the electric field and UV light. This work demonstrated that fluorescent electrophoretic display (EPD) has a fast response, dynamically switch image and bright luminescence, providing potential in multifunctional AC applications.
A recent study unveils new insights into the complex regulatory mechanisms behind strawberry fruit ripening. By analyzing histone modifications, researchers have mapped a detailed chromatin structure model that governs the ripening process, emphasizing the critical role of histone acetylation in regulating gene expression during fruit maturation. This breakthrough could lead to strategies for improving strawberry quality and shelf life, with potential applications for other fruits.
Scientists have significantly improved a new type of laser that uses sound waves instead of light. This "phonon laser" has potential uses in deep-sea exploration, medical imaging, and other areas. The researchers were able to greatly boost the power and precision of the sound waves by adding a small electronic nudge. This paves the way for future devices using sound for a wider range of tasks.
A cutting-edge study shows that integrating 5G technology with the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) can significantly boost Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning accuracy in urban environments. By combining 5G measurements with BDS, this approach addresses common challenges like signal blockages and visibility issues in cities. The integration reduces positioning errors and enhances the success rate of ambiguity resolution, crucial for applications in autonomous systems and the Internet of Things (IoT).
